OMV has installed Siemens’ SICHARGE FLEX charging system at its Kufstein station on Austria’s Brenner corridor. The site currently has two truck charge points rated up to 400 kW each; OMV plans to add four Megawatt Charging System points rated from 600 kW to 1,200 kW in a later phase.
OMV has installed Siemens’ SICHARGE FLEX at its charging station in Kufstein, Austria, adding two truck charge points rated at up to 400 kW each on the busy Brenner corridor. The installation is a pilot for Siemens’ system, and OMV says a later phase will add four Megawatt Charging System (MCS) points for trucks, with ratings from 600 kW to 1,200 kW.
The Kufstein site combines charging for passenger cars and heavy vehicles. It currently has four passenger-car charge points and two truck charge points, each truck point with a capacity of up to 400 kW. Siemens describes SICHARGE FLEX as a distributed charging system for both public sites and logistics depots, with an overall power range of 480 kW to 1.68 MW. That system-wide range is distinct from the stated rating of the individual truck points at Kufstein.
OMV has selected Kufstein because of its position on the Brenner Route, a major transport corridor connecting Germany and Italy. The station is designed with truck drivers in mind and includes showers, restaurants and washing machines, alongside charging facilities. The report does not specify when the next construction phase will begin or give a completion date for the additional truck chargers.
A dynamic power-distribution system allocates available charging power among vehicles connected at the site, according to the report. Siemens and OMV presented the installation as a way to serve different vehicle types within one charging setup. The system is configurable, but the source does not provide details about the power each vehicle will receive when multiple vehicles charge at once.
Charging Along the Brenner Corridor
The installation puts high-power charging for heavy trucks at a location on a busy cross-border freight route. For operators considering electric trucks on longer journeys, access to charging along routes—not only at depots—is a practical part of planning vehicle use. Kufstein also offers driver amenities, which may make it more suitable for freight stops than a charger-only location.
The planned MCS points would raise the site’s stated charging capability for trucks beyond its current two points rated up to 400 kW. However, the deployment is still being expanded: the four higher-power points are described as a future phase, not as equipment already available. The report provides no operating data on charging times, usage, reliability or the number of trucks served, so the installation’s real-world effects cannot yet be assessed from the available information.

A Pilot for Siemens’ New System
Siemens unveiled SICHARGE FLEX in October 2025, and OMV is described as a pilot customer. The system is intended for public charging as well as depot settings, with a stated output range of 480 kW to 1.68 MW. Its distributed design and dynamic allocation are intended to support different charging needs, but the source does not explain the installation’s detailed configuration or how the system’s total available power is divided among the six current charge points.
OMV already provides public electric-vehicle charging in several European markets, including Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania. The Kufstein project is a specific deployment within that wider network. The source identifies its strategic location and the current and planned chargers, but gives no information on whether similar truck-charging installations are scheduled at OMV sites elsewhere.
“The electrification of freight transport is a key pillar of a sustainable transportation system.”

Buildout Dates and Site Performance
The report does not say when the four additional MCS points will be installed, when they will open, or whether their stated 600 kW to 1,200 kW outputs apply per point under all operating conditions. It also does not clarify how charging power will be shared when several vehicles use the site simultaneously, beyond noting that the system dynamically distributes available power.
No figures are provided for current utilization, charging duration, vehicle throughput, pricing or the project’s emissions effects. The announced capacities and planned equipment describe the site’s intended offer, but they do not establish how often trucks will use it or what charging performance drivers will experience in practice.

Four MCS Points Remain Planned
The next stated development is the addition of four MCS truck charge points, rated from 600 kW to 1,200 kW. The source gives no schedule or construction milestones for that phase. Readers will need a further announcement from OMV or Siemens to confirm when the chargers are installed and available to drivers.
Once the expanded site is operating, details on power sharing, actual charging performance and truck use would help show how the installation works as part of freight operations on the Brenner Route. Those results have not been reported in the source material.
